Why does profit center replication from MDG Finance create only one validity interval in the target system instead of multiple intervals from the hub?
If all profit center validity records in MDG-F have identical attributes, the standard ECC/S/4 inbound logic merges them into one interval in the target system. To keep separate validity intervals, at least one attribute must differ between the source validity records.
If all profit center validity records in MDG-F have identical attributes, the standard ECC/S/4 inbound logic merges them into one interval in the target system. To keep separate validity intervals, at least one attribute must differ between the source validity records.
Profit center replication from MDG-F can collapse multiple source validity intervals into one target interval when every attribute is identical across the intervals. In that case, the target system follows standard inbound behavior and creates a single combined validity period rather than separate entries.
Process flow
- Check the source MDG-F profit center record for multiple validity intervals.
- Compare all fields across the intervals and identify whether every attribute is identical.
- If all attributes are identical, change the source design so at least one attribute differs between intervals.
- Replicate the profit center again to the target system.
- Verify in the target system whether separate validity intervals are now created.
- If intervals still merge, inspect the inbound process and your replication setup for additional customer-specific logic.
